8. Consolidate Exhibition Heats

Combine Exhibition heats wherever possible.

Combining Events

Import entries from both teams

Ensure all heats/lanes have been assigned (#4 in refresher list above)

Review each event to see how many heats are created; if only one heat and there are open lanes, see if the respective boy/girl event can be combined.

If so, move swimmers to lanes so that when the two events are combined by the starter, there will be swimmers from both events combined.

Example: Event 1 has entries in lanes 2, 3 and 4; event 2 has entries in lanes 2, 4 and 5 ï¿½ in this scenario, you can combine the two events. For Event 1, move swimmers to lanes 1, 2 and 3 and go to Event 2 and move them to 4, 5, and 6.

Often with relays, you can combine multiple events.

Ensure you are NOT combining events of different distances.

You CAN combine genders.

You CAN NOT combine strokes.

You CAN combine ages provided the distances and strokes are the same.

After all combining is finished, print one copy of the meet program.

Visually review all combined events to ensure that there are no overlaps of lane assignments.

Once all is complete, circle the event numbers that are being combined, draw a line to connect them and write the letter C with a circle around it. This tells everyone which events are combined.

During the meet, you can combine if scratches allow; if you do combine, notify coaches, starter and referee.
